AWS Issue: All the major websites in the internet are down on Tuesday afternoon due to Amazon Web Service S3 Servers issue. According to the company’s Twitter handle, Amazon was experiencing “high error rates” in its S3 web services. It’s not immediately clear what was causing the error messages.
Amazon AWS posted the following message on its web services page, “We’re continuing to work to remediate the availability issues for Amazon S3 in US-EAST-1. AWS services and customer applications depending on S3 will continue to experience high error rates as we are actively working to remediate the errors in Amazon S3.”
